Fodor's Review:

Modeled after a European hunting lodge, this rustic 19th-century dining room built of hand-hewn logs is worth a visit. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served beneath the beamed ceiling. The cuisine is modern Southwestern, and the menu includes such dishes as sautéed rainbow trout served with a wild rice salad and grilled New York strip steak with buttermilk-cornmeal onion rings and pepper jack au gratin potatoes. It's the best restaurant for miles.

During our two night stay at the Canyon we had been fortunate to make reservations for dinners both nights. We were not dissapointed by the food at all. Very flavorful and portions were of good size. The waitstaff were all courteous and were all working to capacity. This is a very busy dinning room. Breakfast were equally good. WE loved the dinning rooms and the fact that the fireplaces were working. Wouldn't dine elsewhere.
